Far From You

It's been a blur since you left for your trip, yet you seem like a breath away. You always say that distance is nothing but a concept made by engineers like you who measure every millimeter, and by writers like me, who define it with loneliness and waiting. I would say, we have redefined and conquered it twice, we can.. just again, even how many times over.

The stars are gone this eve and it might rain again, but I smile and think you're just here within me, shining brightly. It's the 47th...

Planet Rejuvenation

My father always had this idea of an apocalypse, but unlike in the Bible, his idea was simple - a 2-second judgment, vanishing all human beings except for new-born babies. He says God will do the selection of who goes to heaven and who will burn in hell somewhere outside the Earth.

Meanwhile, back in Earth, new-born babies will grow into an entirely new generation of naturally "good" people. They may carry their parents' genes, but no way could their minds be immediately have been polluted by the old generation. There will be no such thing as money, thus food will be free and available under trees and in vast oceans. People will know how to hunt, fish and gather food. Therefore, politics, which may exist sometime soon to take care of organizations, will not be dirty as it is known today. There will only be a society of "good" people caring and growing for each other.

This was my father's idea of an effective planet rejuvenation.

Now I realize, it does not sound so impossible, does it?
